CAUTION: If oil was drawn out during the recovery process, the correct amount may be added directly from the
recovery, recycle and recharge station (if so equipped) prior to the charging process. It must be stressed that the need to
protect compressor oil from moisture is vital, observe the pr ocedures in HANDLING LUBRICATING OIL and those concerning
excessive engine speed.


1. In order that the
air conditioning system may operate
efficiently it must contain a full refrigerant charge. The
indications of some system defects, and the results of certain
tests, will show that a low charge is the most probable cause of
the fault. In such cases the ch arge should be recovered from
the system, the weight noted, and the correct amount added.
Should refrigerant be added in liquid form, the engine speed
must not exceed 2000 rpm for a period of two minutes after
first running the compressor. If the engine speed is excessive,
compressor damage may occur du e to the lubricating oil and
the liquid refrigerant being initia lly forced around the system as
a 'slug', thus taking oil away from the compressor. These
marginal lubrication conditions in the compressor will cease as
the refrigerant becomes gaseous.
Never attempt to estimate the amount of refrigerant in a
system. Always recover and rech arge with the correct charge
weight; this is the only accurate method.

Heater System Components
ItemPart NumberDescription
1—Heater matrix
2—Firewall
3—Non return valve
4—Water pump
5—Water valve
6—Return to engine
7—Feed from engine
8—Non return valve (heater bypass)

Parts List
The heater circuit 'scavenges' coolant from the engine cooling system by mean s of an electric water pump. The water pump
has a protection circuit to inhibit operation when the coolant temperature is <16°C; this is to prevent possible damage to
the impeller due to the presence of coolant borne ice particles. Coolant is drawn from the en gine system through the water
valve inlet port into the heater matrix. The coolant passes thro ugh the bottom section of the heater matrix from left to right
filling the end tank of the matrix before returning through the top half of the ma trix and through the outlet ports of the
water valve and back into the engine cooling system.
Non return valves are located in the heat er bypass hose and the hose between the water pump and valve. These valves are
required to prevent coolant flowing in th e wrong direction at low engine speeds and restrict convected flow through the
heater after the engine is switched off.
When the exterior ambient temperature is > 0°C the refrigerat ion system automatically operates cooling and dehumidifying
incoming air before it is re -heated by the heater matrix.
Water Valve Assembly
Location
The water valve assembly is located above the water pump, in the engine compartmen t and is secured to the firewall by a
bracket. The valve operates by means of an electrical solenoid which oscillates the valve stem between the inlet and outlet
ports.
When in automatic mode, the water valve duty cycle is influenced by the following inputs to the A/CCM:
Outlet air temperature 'Air off' heater matrix temperature External ambient Coolant temperature
ItemPart NumberDescription
1—Assembly pump - water
2—Hose - from header tank
3—Hose / connector - return to engine
4—Hose - heater feed to matrix
5—Valve - non return (by-pass)
6—Hose / connector - feed from engine
7—Hose - heater return from matrix
8—Assembly valve - water
9—Valve - non return

Engine speed (valve closed with the engine not running) Demand (set) temperature In-car temperature sensor Solar sensor
Re-heating of the refrigerated air is contro lled by the time that the water valve is open (i.e. not energised) over a six secon d
interval. The duty cycle of the water valve, the time open / time closed, is controlled by the A/CCM.
Maximum heating demand will cause the water valve to be fu lly open (not energised) to allow maximum coolant flow
through the heater matrix.
At Maximum cooling, the water va lve will be fully closed (energised) to prevent hot (engine temperature) coolant entering
the heater circuit; the pump however will continue to circulate coolant through both the heater matrix and water valve
bypass.
The water valve defaults open when the ignition is OFF.
Under engine stall conditions, when ignition is ON, the water valve will be open.
Water Pump Assembly
Located in the same area as the water valve, the water pump continually circulates coolant through the heater matrix
except when the conditions below apply:
The engine coolant is below 16°C. The ignition is OFF. Under engine stall conditions, when ignition is ON. Control panel OFF
Non return valves
The heater bypass hose has a non-return valve, located between the engine feed and return hoses. The valve prevents the
water pump from recirculating coolant fro m the heater at low engine speeds.
The flow indicator arrow embossed on the valve bo dy MUST point towards the coolant header tank.
CAUTION: Coolant flow will be compromi sed if either valve is fitted incorrectly. Observe the correct direction.
A second non-return valve is located betw een the water pump and water valve. This valve prevents hot coolant from flowing
into the heater with the engine switched off. The flow indicator arrow MUST point towards the water pump.
Heater feed and return hoses
The heater feed and return hoses are connected to the engine feed and return hoses by 'Quick-Fit' connection unions. The
feed hose has a Norma R20 connector and the return hose a Norma push and seal connector. The coolant system bleed
joints have Cobra clamps. All remaining hose connections have spring band hose clamps.
The engine feed hose is connected to the engine bypass hous ing and the engine return hose is connected to the engine
water pump.

Climate Control Panel
Communication between the control panel and the A/CCM is via a serial data communications link.

Switching the Climate Control system ON
The climate control system can be switched ON by pressing one of the following :
Ref #1 On / Off (resumes the system on in the previous settings).
Ref #10 A / C (resumes the system on in the previous settings).
Ref #11 AUTO (resumes the system on at the previous temperature setting).

Ref #12 DEF (resumes the system on at the previous temperature setting).
Button (switch) logic
All buttons with an integral LED state lamp conform to the following operating logic.
When the state lamp is lit the relevant func tion is operational. From this condition, pressing the button will de-activate the
function, confirmed by the LED being de-energized and the pres ence of a single audible 'beep'. A single 'beep' will
accompany the state lamp to confirm function re-selection.
1. 1. ON / OFF and manual fan speed.
Pressing this knob activates the system ON at the last settin g or switches the system OFF. Rotate the knob clockwise to
increase and anti-clockwise to decrease fan speed and thus airflow.
With the system OFF, ram air is available by the selected air di stribution mode (indicated by state lamp). Air flow will NOT
occur unless a manual air distribution mo de is selected, this air being unconditioned and flow dependent upon vehicle
speed.
• NOTE: The blowers are inhibited until the engine coolant te mperature is > 35°C, unless DEFROST, FACE or DEMIST modes
are selected.
2. 2. Manual Air Recirculation
Closes the outside air intakes of the blower asse mblies and recirculates air within the vehicle.
Two options of control are available :
Timed Recirculation. Pressing the button for less than 1.5 seconds lights up the LED (confirmed by a single bleep).
This provides recirculation of interior air for a period of approximately 5 minutes. Pressing the button within five
minutes returns the system to fresh air intake mode.
Continuous Recirculation. Pressing and holding the button for more than 1.5 seconds lights up the LED (confirmed by two beeps). This provides continuous reci rculation of interior air. Pressing the button returns the system to fresh air
intake mode.
• NOTE: Avoid using manual air recirculatio n for prolonged periods in cold weather, this may result in interior misting of
glass.
